Curious to see how it compares to BGP:

But again, the main bottleneck with image compression is embedded software, like smartphone, cameras, etc. There is a compromise and cost/benefit between file size, transistor requirement, CPU cycles, power required, etc.

For example, I would be interested to see the size of binary code required to compress JPG, JPG XL, BGP, WEBP, etc.




Quality wise, BPG is essentially the same thing as HEIF because both base on HEVC. There are comparisons with HEIF in the slides linked on the JPEG XL homepage: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LlmUR0Uoh4dgT3DjanLj...


n.b. HEVC is not royalty-free, while JPEG XL is.


Thanks for mentioning this, I was curious and I thought it would be getting more discussion here.
